DISIIBUTER FOR APPARATUS FOR CARBURETXNG AIR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 10, 1905. Serial No. 286,721.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be 1t known that I. ANDR AnoLrnE Louis.

y a subject of the Republic of France. residing at T5 Boulevard Strasburg. Paris. `France. have invented certain new and useful lmprovelmnts in Uistributers for Apparatus for arbureting Air. of which the following is a specification. 1

The present invention relates to a distributer for apparatus for carbureting air and the object of the invention is to providea distributer which may be attached directly tothe ordinary tanks of commerce while still maintaining a uniform feed of liquid from the distributer to the carbureter notwithstanding the changing level of the liquid in the tank to which the distributer is attached. Moreover l obtain this result without having any of the parts. which are subjected to friction. vtraveling in the liquid in the distributer. such as is the case in' the distribliters having chains with buckets attached thereto which are liable to get rusty and stop working when some time has gone by.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in vertical section.

a is a. reservoir formed with three chambers b, c and In the chambers and c work two pipes e and j' which are mounted hy means of securing blocks Q and 2. on shafts g and i1- connected by means of links v and'k to an operating lever 7). The pipe c is larger than the plpe f. The chamber I) of the reservoir a communicates Wit-h an ordinary liquid containing tank m by means of tubes Z and 0. and the chamber comlnunicates with the lcarbureter (not shown) by means of a tube n.

The operation of the device is as follows:

The pipes e and f are elevate to the position shown in dotted lines by means of the lever p and liquid flows from the pipe f to the chamber andthrough the tube n into the carbureter where it is mixed with air in the customary manner. The liquid taken from the chamber c is replaced by the liquid passing out from the pipe e and as the amount of liquid conveyed by the pipe e is greater carbureter. The level of the liquid in the. chamber will of course change during the working of the distributer and the amount ot' liquid conveyed through the pipe e will decrease accordingly. but. by reason of 'the pipe c being of much greater dimensions than the pipe f. the amount of liquid conveyed by the pipe will still be less than that conveyed by the pipe c until the liquid in the chamber and in' the tank m is pretty near exhausted.

Having described my invention what I claim as new is:-

1. In a device of the character described. a reservoir lhaving a liquid containing chamber. a 'conveyer operating in said chamber to convey liquid therefrom. a second liquid containing chamber. and a conveyer operating in said second chamber for conveying liquid from the second chamber to the irstnamed chamber to keep the supply of liquid in said first-named chamber constant.
